Thank you so much for the additional information, I had the 1901 and 1911 census records for Fred and family, in 1911 Carlos is Grandpa and not sure where he got the name but he was Carlos Boynton Seelye born 1902.

The rest of the information is new to me, although Rev. Fred did have at least three wives...the wife Minnie is noted on the marriage record as an adopted daughter of Robert Manzer, but she is also listed as Minnie Hallett. Interesting but one day I will solve the whole riddle...looking at retirement and hopefully will find the extra time then .

Hmmm...
Not sure what the actual response was supposed to be... However, I
earched on PANB and found Fred B. Seelye listed as buried in the St
eorge Rural Cemetery in Charlotte County, NB. Listed as Seelye, Fred B.
Rev), 1864 - 1949. Bit of a trek from there to Elmwood Cemetery, one
ould suppose.
There are approximately 30 SEELYEs buried at St George Rural, by PANB
ccounting. Two using the SEELEY spelling variant.
1901 Canada Census has Frederick and his wife Minnie living in New
aryland, York County, NB.

m. At residence of Robert MANZER, Mount Hope (York Co.) Aug. 14, by Rev.

If searching on PANB Newspaper Stat (Johnson), there is a fairly long and
etailed article on the family written in 1878, which can be found
earching on Orange SEELYE.

d. St. George, 20th ult., Orange SEELYE, age 68, came with his father
ustus SEELYE one of the Loyalists in 1783.
So, given the family's ties to Charlotte County, and specifically St
eorge, it would not be surprising to see Rev. Fred being buried in that
articular cemetery.
I found no indications of any burial in Elmwood Cemetery, however, given
e was a minister and did move around a bit, I'd not be surprised if there
as some sort of memorial at that cemetery.
